Say What? Spa Worker Fired for Refusing Bikini Wax

PITTSBURGH (AP)—A woman fired from a Pittsburgh-area spa has sued, saying she was wrongly fired after she refused to let another employee perform a hair-removing wax procedure on her during training.

Jennifer Finley, of Wexford, has sued the European Wax Center in Ross Township, just north of Pittsburgh.

Finley contends she understood that part of her job was to perform the procedure that removes hair from the pubic area on customers, but Finley said she didn’t want to be forced to have the procedure done for herself.

“She was asked to expose her most private parts to her co-workers, to their view and their touch, and to have the physical view of her genitals altered,” said Finley’s attorney Janice Russell.
